FINAL Bald Eagle Migration Update: May
10, 2006
Special thanks to our Bald Eagle Expert Pete, Eagleye Nye for sharing
his time and talent again this spring. Keep a Spring 2006 archive.
Then read the summary of spring migration research collected from
satellite-tagged eagles collected over 57 seasons. You’ll be
amazed! Create a story of what might happen when immature eagle P88
returns to his natal nest. Learn details of the history of the Bald
eagle; its decline and comeback against many odds. And read a powerful
poem called, "Eagles Over Aberdeen.”

Bald Eagle Migration Update: May 3, 2006
Just a quick update today. The eagles are helping us learn about
Canadian geography this spring. Can you name the provinces where
some of our satellite-tracked eagles are nesting? While your atlas
is out look for Albany County, NY. P88 has returned to her nest!
The urge to return to the natal area must be very strong. Will her
parents let her hang around as the next generation of eaglets are
hatched? Come back next week for more.

Glancing at today’s we see a couple of things clearly: first,
the birds have really spread across the NE quadrant of the map, and
the long distance fliers have continued to move. How big is one long-distance
fliers range? Dig into adaptations that have allowed the Bald eagle
to survive as a big adult and a small eaglet. Track weather and migration
with a map archive source.

Just a quick update today. The adult Bald eagles are racking up the
miles so far this spring! Get a bird’s view of the migration
mapped for you, or map the data yourself. How far and how fast do
they soar from point to point in their journeys? Keep travel records
of these majestic raptors on new easy to print tracking charts. Come
back next week for more.

It doesn’t get much better than this for eagle migration season!
Study this week’s data and maps for even more excitement as
our eagles migrate out of the U.S. to places we will never see except
through satellite technology. Explore resources for weather maps
and calculating distances. Then learn about nest building. You can
even build one in your classroom!

Bald Eagle Migration Update: April 5,
2006It’s April and we’re
tracking eagles on the move!
Which birds are soaring towards their summer nesting sites? What’s
the view from up there? Imagine you’re U21. What would YOU
see? Study carefully to answer this week’s challenge. Just
a quick update today. Come back next week for more.

Imagine the view our migrating adult birds have from their cruising
altitude so far above the ground. What landmarks will they look for
to guide them on their journeys? Learn about a safe resting spot
along the way for V98. Measure the progress of U27 in her northward
journey. And look in to a live eagle cam to observe an active nest – up
close and personal.

This week we see the eagles are getting restless. Where are they
moving? Track each bird on its own map now. What
is “winter range?” Find out, then map each winter range
to learn more about eagle habitat. Springtime brings a longer photoperiod—one
factor that can lead to a northern migration. Study how the weather
and other factors affect spring migration.

Just a quick update today to give you the latest news from Peter
Nye and data for your map. Study the map--especially check out birds
U25 and P91. March is here--a very busy month for Bald eagles!
Stay tuned for a full update next week.

Bald Eagle Migration Update: March 1,
2006
Get ready. This is the month the visiting eagles get on the move.
For now the eagles are staying local and we have a chance to study
some of their habitat choices. Why are eagles attracted to a potentially
dangerous place? Which eagle took wing in a southern direction? Study
this week’s eagle data for the answers. And enjoy some winter
bird watching at the Kinzua Dam site.

The latest data make this week’s map an interesting one to
study. Eagleye asks you to look for emerging patterns. Can we learn
to be objective and think like scientists? Learn why researchers
stay away from naming their study animals. And add a big word to
your eagle glossaries, “anthropomorphism.”
